Chicago White Sox infielder Jake Burger (oblique) was activated from the injured list ahead of Sunday's game against the Astros. The 27-year-old was on the 10-day IL because of a left oblique strain and had recently spent time in Charlotte on a minor-league rehab assignment. But Burger will be back in the lineup on Sunday and bat seventh versus Hunter Brown in their first career encounter. In a corresponding move, Chicago optioned catcher Carlos Perez to Charlotte.
